I am trying to remember how to play this game! I am 33 years old and have two girls of my own that I am trying to teach it to. No one seems to remember this game but me and another friend who don’t remember the categories or what the middle block is or how you win in the end. I know there are boys, girls, fruits, vegetables and perhaps colors…. in the squares. There are 9 squares right? Can comeone help? Deanna

Has anyone ever heard the “choosing” rhyme that goes, “My mother and your mother were hanging out the clothes My mother punched your mother right in the nose. What color blood came out……. (Then you would call out a color) This crazy rhyme popped into my head as I was looking through this website. Just thought I’d make mention of it. Great Website, I’ve passed it on to other “Brooklynites that I grew up with!!

Original author: iwall [e-mail]
i just remembered jacks when my granddaughter came over with some and asked me to show her how to play. I also am having trouble remembering all the different rules and games. We used to start with regular oneies, twosies, etc, then did baskets, upsies, downsies, double-ups, double downs, but that is all I can remember. This was our regular formula as each game gradually become more difficult. I would love to hear from anyone who can remind me of other games. thanks
